One, we’ve done a tremendous amount of continuing education in that realm. I’ve been restored myself. One of the things that I really feel set us apart is we’re able to do a trial smile for most people. What a trial smile is, is you’ll come in and we take a digital impression of your mouth, no goop, just a digital impression. We send that off to our laboratory, which is one of the best labs in the world. They will digitally design that smile and then 3D print that model, which we’re able then to take an impression of and transfer that into the patient’s mouth without ever having prepped a tooth. So before that, a patient has to fully commit to the case, they can see what the smile would look like and make sure it’s really right for them.
Porcelain Veneers: Transform Your Smile
Porcelain veneers offer one of the most dramatic cosmetic transformations available in dentistry. These ultra-thin shells of medical-grade ceramic bond to the front surface of your teeth, concealing chips, cracks, stains, gaps, and misalignment in a single comprehensive treatment. Dr. Alber specializes in prepless veneers, which require minimal removal of your natural tooth enamel compared to traditional veneers. Dr. Alber says, “We’re able to do a trial smile for most people. You’ll come in, and we’ll take a digital impression of your mouth, no goop, just a digital impression. We send that off to our laboratory, which is one of the best labs in the world…before a patient has to fully commit to the case, they can see what the smile would look like.“
The veneer process begins with a unique trial smile phase. Using digital impressions and 3D printing technology, we create a preview of your new smile that you can actually wear before committing to treatment. This allows you to see and feel the results before any permanent changes are made to your teeth. Our partnership with world-class dental laboratories ensures each veneer is custom-crafted to match your facial features, skin tone, and personal preferences. With proper care and regular dental visits, veneers can maintain their beauty and function for many years.
Professional Teeth Whitening
Professional teeth whitening remains one of the most requested cosmetic treatments because it delivers noticeable improvements quickly and affordably. Unlike over-the-counter products that can cause sensitivity or provide uneven results, our professional whitening treatments use higher-concentration formulas applied under controlled conditions to safely brighten your smile by several shades.
We offer both in-office and take-home whitening options. In-office treatment delivers dramatic results in about an hour, making it ideal when you need a confidence boost before an important event. Take-home kits provide the same professional-strength formula with custom-fitted trays, allowing you to whiten on your own schedule while achieving gradual, natural-looking results. Dr. Alber will recommend the approach that best suits your goals, lifestyle, and sensitivity level.
Composite Bonding for Minor Corrections
Dental bonding provides a conservative solution for minor cosmetic concerns. This procedure uses tooth-colored composite resin to repair chips, close small gaps, reshape uneven teeth, or cover stains that don’t respond to whitening. The entire process typically takes just one appointment, and because it requires minimal alteration to your natural tooth structure, bonding offers a reversible option for patients who want to improve their smile without committing to more extensive treatment.
Dr. Alber carefully matches the composite material to your surrounding teeth and sculpts it to create natural-looking contours and translucency. While bonding may not last as long as veneers or crowns, it can be easily repaired or replaced as needed. Many patients choose bonding as a first step to test how they feel about cosmetic changes before pursuing more permanent options.
Gummy Smile Correction
A gummy smile, where excessive gum tissue covers your teeth and makes them appear short, can be corrected through gum contouring procedures. Using precise techniques, Dr. Alber reshapes your gumline to reveal more of your natural tooth structure and create a better balance between your teeth and gums. This procedure often dramatically changes the proportions of your smile, making your teeth appear longer and more prominent.
Gum contouring can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with veneers, crowns, or other cosmetic procedures for comprehensive smile makeovers. The procedure is typically completed in one visit with minimal discomfort, and healing occurs relatively quickly. The results are permanent, giving you a more confident smile that draws attention to your teeth rather than your gums.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
When you need a dental crown for cosmetic or restorative purposes, our CEREC technology allows us to design, create, and place your custom crown in a single appointment. There’s no need for temporary crowns, multiple visits, or waiting weeks for a dental laboratory. This computer-aided system captures digital impressions of your tooth, designs a precise restoration, and mills the crown from high-quality ceramic material right in our office.
CEREC crowns not only save you time but also provide excellent aesthetics and durability. The tooth-colored ceramic material matches your natural teeth seamlessly, and because the entire process happens in one visit, you leave with your permanent restoration the same day. This technology represents the kind of innovation Dr. Alber continually brings to his practice to enhance patient comfort and outcomes.
Invisalign Clear Aligners for Adults and Teens
Misaligned teeth don’t have to mean metal braces. Invisalign clear aligners offer a virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth and correct bite issues without the dietary restrictions or appearance concerns associated with traditional braces. These custom-made, removable aligners gradually shift your teeth into their ideal positions over several months.
Dr. Alber has extensive experience with Invisalign treatment and uses advanced planning software to show you the projected outcome before you even begin. The aligners are comfortable, easy to remove for eating and cleaning, and allow you to maintain your normal oral hygiene routine throughout treatment. Whether you’re an adult who’s always wanted straighter teeth or a teen looking for a discreet orthodontic option, Invisalign can help you achieve the smile you’ve envisioned.
